A mounting substrate includes: a mounting area on which an electronic element is mounted; an electrode forming area on which electrodes are formed and which is formed to surround the mounting area; and a dam member which is formed on a boundary between the mounting area and the electrode forming area so as to block flow out of a filling material being filled between the electronic element and the mounting substrate, into the electrode forming area, wherein recess portions that face the electrodes are formed on an outer peripheral surface of the dam member and a part of the electrodes are formed within the recess portions.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A mounting substrate comprising: a mounting area on which an electronic element is mounted; an electrode forming area on which electrodes are formed and which is formed to surround the mounting area; and a dam member which is formed on a boundary between the mounting area and the electrode forming area so as to block a filling material, which is being filled between the electronic element and the mounting substrate, from flowing out into the electrode forming area, wherein an outer peripheral surface of the dam member defines recess portions, each of said recess portions facing toward an associated one of the electrodes, and a clearance between the recess portion and the associated electrode facing the recess portion is set equal respectively within an area where the recess portion and the associated electrode face each other.
2. The mounting substrate according to claim 1 , wherein a first width dimension of the dam member in a position other than a position where one of the recess portions is formed is larger than a second width dimension of the dam member in the position where one of the recess portions is formed.
3. The mounting substrate according to claim 1 , wherein a solder resist is formed on a substrate body of the mounting substrate and the dam member is formed of the same material as the solder resist.
4. The mounting substrate according to claim 1 , wherein an inner peripheral surface of the dam member that faces the mounting area is formed into a linear shape.
5. The mounting substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the filling material is an underfill resin.
6. An electronic device comprising: an electronic element; a mounting substrate; and a filling material being filled between the electronic element and the mounting substrate, wherein the mounting substrate includes: a mounting area on which the electronic element is mounted; an electrode forming area on which electrodes are formed and which is formed to surround the mounting area; and a dam member that is formed on a boundary between the mounting area and the electrode forming area so as to block flow out of the filling material into the electrode forming area, wherein an outer peripheral surface of the dam member defines recess portions, each of said recess portions facing toward an associated one of the electrodes, and a clearance between the recess portion and the associated electrode facing the recess portion is set equal respectively within an area where the recess portion and the associated electrode face each other.
7. The electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein a first width dimension of the dam member in a position other than a position where one of the recess portions is formed is larger than a second width dimension of the dam member in the position where one of the recess portions is formed.
8. The electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein a solder resist is formed on a substrate body of the mounting substrate, the dam member is formed of the same material as the solder resist, and the solder resist and the dam member are integrally formed as a unitary piece.
9. The electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein the outer peripheral surface of the dam member defines the recess portions as curved surfaces which are concave relative to the electrode forming area.
10. The electronic device according to claim 9 , wherein inner peripheral surfaces of the dam member that face the mounting area and are disposed at positions opposite to the recess portions are formed into a linear shape.
11. The mounting substrate according to claim 3 , wherein the solder resist and the dam member are integrally formed as a unitary piece.
12. The mounting substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the outer peripheral surface of the dam member defines the recess portions as curved surfaces which are concave relative to the electrode forming area.
13. The mounting substrate according to claim 12 , wherein inner peripheral surfaces of the dam member that face the mounting area and are disposed at positions opposite to the recess portions are formed into a linear shape.
